PRINCE Philip is rarely seen out in public seen he stepped down from royal duties, but the Duke of Edinburgh did spend Christmas at Sandringham with the rest of the family, but where is now?

The royal family traditionally spends Christmas and New Year at Sandringham House. The Queen’s Norfolk house has been the venue of Christmases since 1988, when Windsor Castle had to be rewired and the family returned to Sandringham. Every year, the family make the short walk to attend a Christmas Day church service at St Mary’s Magdalene church, based on the Queen’s Sandringham estate.
